Santo Domingo. -The Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (Sodocipre) considered this Friday that the Dominican Republic has quickly become a key point for the increase and development of aesthetic procedures in the Caribbean and Latin America.
According to the statements of the president of the Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (Sodocipre), Sergio Guzmán Padilla, “our country receives a considerable number of patients from abroad, surpassing the local ones, which places us in a privileged position compared to other Latin countries.”
Sergio Guzmán Padilla recalled that in 2022, the Dominican Republic received a total of 50,000 patients, of which 40,000 were foreign patients and absent Dominicans, mostly from the United States, Spain and Italy, of which a majority were performed more than one procedure at a time.
Although in 2023 there was a drop in the numbers with 40,000 patients treated, Guzmán Padilla stated that it is due to various factors of international inflationary crises.
“There is no doubt that the country is quickly standing out in the demand for aesthetic health services by having highly qualified professionals, cutting-edge technology and the ethical commitment to comply with the necessary standards required by local and international parameters, added to the human aspect that characterizes the Dominican for his hospitality and warmth in treatment,” said Guzmán Padilla.
The president of the union stated that the surgeries most requested by patients are liposuction, abdominoplasty and breast surgeries, representing 60% of these, and the remaining 40% covering rhinoplasties, blepharoplasties, face lifts, brachioplasties, thigh lifts. and non-invasive aesthetic procedures.
Likewise, he pointed out that the rate of complications associated with them remains within the margins established by international parameters.
